List of Technical Analysis Trading Indicators for Stocks and
Forex
There are two principles of analysis used to forecast price
movements in the financial markets -- fundamental analysis and technical
analysis. Fundamental analysis, depending on the market being analyzed, can
deal with economic factors that focus mainly on supply and demand (commodities)
or valuing a company based upon its financial strength (equities). Fundamental
analysis helps to determine what to buy or sell. Technical analysis is the study
of market action through the use of charts to forecast future trends. Technical
analysis helps to determine when to buy and sell.
Technical analysis has been used for hundreds of years. It
can be applied to any market, an advantage over fundamental analysis.
Technicians believe that the study of market action will tell all and that each
and every fundamental aspect will be revealed through the actions of investors
entering or exiting positions. Market action includes many sources of
information -- price, volume, open interest, and volatility.
Technical analysis is based upon three main premises;
1) Market action discounts everything 2) Prices move in
trends 3) History repeats itself
Technical analysis has been proven to be an effective tool
for investors and is constantly becoming more accepted by market participants.
When used in conjunction with fundamental analysis, technical analysis can
offer a more complete valuation, which can make the difference in executing
profitable trades.

Trend Indicators
Trend indicators reflect three tendencies in price
movements: Up moves, Down moves and Sideways price moves. These indicators help
define prevailing directions/ trends of the price moves by smoothing price data
over a certain period of time. In simple words, Trend indicators allow us to
visualize Trends in the market.

Momentum Indicators
Momentum indicators show the strength of trends by recording
the speed of prices moving over certain time period. At the same time, Momentum
indicators track strength and weakness of a trend as it progresses over a given
period of time: the highest momentum is always registered at the beginning of a
trend, the lowest - at its end point.

Volatility Indicators
Volatility indicators show the size and the magnitude of
price fluctuations. In any market there are periods of high volatility (high
intensity) and low volatility (low intensity). These periods come in waves: low
volatility is replaced by increasing volatility, while after a period of high
volatility there comes a period of low volatility and so on. Volatility
indicators measure the intensity of price fluctuations, providing an insight
into the market activity level.
